Unique, world-first packaging innovation 't Hoeksche Hoekje can save the world. Of flavor.

Premium potato chips brand Hoeksche Chips from 's-Gravendeel, South Holland, in collaboration with advertising agency Wunderman Thompson, today introduced an innovation in the packaging of their new flavor "Salt & Balsamic vinegar" that the world did not know it was waiting for.

‘s-Gravendeel / Amsterdam, 19 April 2023

The chips from Hoeksche Chips can be counted among the best in the Netherlands and perhaps far beyond. Entrepreneurs Henk Scheele and Rene de Zeeuw and their team grow, harvest, cut and fry the chips on their farm 'De Hoeksche Hoeve'. Sustainably grown potatoes fried in their skins in the purest sunflower oil and seasoned with a little sea salt or natural herbs. Less fat, less salt and much tastier than ordinary potato chips.

Not surprisingly, together with globally renowned advertising agency Wunderman Thompson and their offices in Atlanta and Amsterdam, they came up with something so that nothing, but nothing of those delicious chips would go to waste. Because for centuries, mankind has been plagued by the problem of crumbs at the bottom of the chip bag. With no way to get them out of the bag without losing your human dignity or, even worse, making a mess on your clothes or the couch.

But so now there is a solution: 't Hoeksche Hoekje. With a simple wave of the hand, the bottom left side of the chip bag can be removed and the last, tastiest crumbs can be conducted directly to hand or mouth without crumb loss. The unique Flavor Saver technology ensures that none of the delicious flavor of Hoeksche Chips is lost.

Try 't Hoeksche Hoekje for yourself. Your chips experience "will never be the same. Hoeksche Chips 'Salt & Balsamic Vinegar' including 't Hoeksche Hoekje is available from today at specialty stores in the Netherlands. For more information, visit www.hoekschechips.nl

"Our focus is entirely on making the very tastiest chips available. Everything has to give way to quality and authenticity. This is probably also why Hoeksche Chips has been the 'chips of choice' for KLM's Business Class for years. But no sooner had we thought about how adapting the packaging could help ensure that none of that quality is lost. For decades, chip bags have not changed substantially. Today that is coming to an end." ​
- Henk Scheele and Rene de Zeeuw, owners Hoeksche Chips and Farmhouse Chips.
"It is a privilege to work with such passionate entrepreneurs who put so much love and passion into their product. So it is only natural that we have put all our brainpower into ensuring that none of the unique and authentic taste of Hoeksche Chips is lost. This is a great day for chip eaters everywhere." ​
- Bas Korsten, Global Chief Creative Officer Wunderman Thompson
